Royal Elegance Door

The new Empress door from Simpson with a deeply etched oval glass insert in a real wooden frame is designed to be energy-efficient.

The cameo has a brocade-like pattern with a heavily-beveled insulated safety glass. The etching is on the inside so that the glass on both sides of the door is smooth and easy to clean.

Made from vertical grain Douglas fir or western hemlock, the doors come in the standard size of 3' x 6 '6 ", and are | 3/4" thick with I l/4' thick innerbond panels. They feature extra-wide. 6 3/8" stiles to accommodate various hardware.

Keep lt Cool

The Scangrind 150 from F & H Machinery Co. is a new 6" whet stone designed to handle big sharpening jobs.

Since it turns in either direction, it is possible to sharpen knives, scissors and such with the stone turning away and, ifpreferred, counter grind chisels, axes, plane-irons, etc.

The tool turns at 200 RPM for maximum grinding efficiency without causing water resistance or splashing. The water not only cools the stone but acts as a collector, trapping the grinding dust to keep the environment cleaner.

View: Optional
